4 CSA Overview THE PROCESS: Broader array of interventions Includes warning letters and focused on and off-site investigations to augment the full investigations THE SYSTEM: New Safety Measurement System (SMS) Better identifies carriers for Agency interventions THE RULE: Revisions to Safety Fitness Determination (SFD) Regulations To incorporate on-road performance into SFD methodology and eliminate the need for a full compliance review Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

5 CSA Interventions More ways to get carriers to focus on safety:  Warning Letters  Offsite Investigations  Targeted Investigations  Cooperative Safety Plans  Notices of Violation  Notices of Claim Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration 5

6 The Safety Interventions process addresses the:  WHAT ? Discovering violations and defining the problem  WHY? Identifying the cause or where the processes broke down  HOW? Determining how to fix it/prevent it by using the Safety Management Cycle (SMC) and Safety Improvement Resources CSA Intervention Tools Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

7 New Safety Measurement System  Replaced the SafeStat system as the FMCSA tool to identify carriers for intervention  Reviews regulatory compliance and identifies unsafe carrier and driver behaviors that lead to crashes  All safety-based roadside violations ~3.5 million inspections per year Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Unsafe Driving Fatigued Driving (HOS) Driver Fitness Controlled Substances/ Alcohol Vehicle Maintenance Cargo- Related Crash Indicator SMS

8  Carrier census information  Analysis of carrier on-road performance and investigation results based on the most recent 24 months in BASICs  Overall BASIC status (status above threshold may prioritize the carrier for intervention)  Flag if carrier is under an FMCSA order prohibiting operations  Driver and Vehicle Inspection OOS rates  Links to detailed individual inspection results and trend data  Links to SAFER and L&I for current safety rating and authority/insurance status SMS can be found at: http://ai.fmcsa.dot.gov/SMShttp://ai.fmcsa.dot.gov/SMS What does SMS provide? Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

9 SMS Data CategoryApproximate Number Percentage of Uploaded Crashes Carriers listed as active750K100% Carriers with recent activity “pulse” in last three years 525K100% Carriers with insufficient data325K8% Carriers with sufficient data to be assessed in at least one BASIC 200K92% Carriers with sufficient negative information to have a percentile assigned 92K83% Carriers with at least one BASIC above FMCSA intervention threshold 50K45% Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

11 SMS Changes Previewed  Strengthening the Vehicle Maintenance BASIC by incorporating cargo/load securement violations  Changing the Cargo-Related BASIC to HM BASIC  Better aligning the SMS with Intermodal Equipment Provider (IEP)regulations  Aligning violations included in SMS with CVSA inspection levels  More accurately identifying carriers that transport significant quantities of HM and passengers. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration 11

12 SMS Changes Announced  Modify SMS Web site display to: Change current terminology of “Insufficient Data’’ and ‘‘Inconclusive’’ to fact-based definitions Distinguish between crashes with injuries and crashes with fatalities. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration 12

13 Additional Changes Effective in December  Removal of 1 to 5 MPH Speeding Violations  Lowered Severity Weight for Speeding Violations That Do Not Designate MPH Range  Alignment of Paper and Electronic Logbook Violations  Name Change of the Fatigued Driving HOS BASIC to the HOS Compliance BASIC Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration 13

14 Suspended License Violations  Driver Fitness BASIC – Suspended License violations Inspectors now collecting more detailed information roadside Separating Safety-based suspensions from non-safety based suspension Allows SMS to weigh safety-based suspensions heavier Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

15 December 2012 SMS Improvements  Strengthen the Vehicle Maintenance BASIC by incorporating cargo/load securement violations from the Cargo-Related BASIC.  New HM BASIC  More accurately ID carriers that transport significant quantities of HM  Better align SMS with Intermodal Equipment Provider (IEP) regulations.  Align violations included in SMS with CVSA inspection levels  More accurately ID carriers that should be subject to lower passenger carrier intervention thresholds  Modify SMS public display Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

16 16 NEW BASICs as of December 2012 Unsafe Driving Fatigued Driving (HOS) Driver Fitness Controlled Substances/ Alcohol Vehicle Maintenance Cargo- Related Crash Indicator SMS CURRENT Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs) HOS Compliance Unsafe Driving Crash Indicator HM Compliance Vehicle Maintenance Controlled Substances/ Alcohol Driver Fitness SMS Safety Measurement System Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

17 SMS changes under consideration  Comprehensive modifications to roadside violation severity weights per MCSAC  Recalibration of the Utilization Factor used to incorporate VMT for the Crash and Unsafe Driving BASICs  Adjustment to safety event groupings in all BASICs  Other Ideas? Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

18 Safety Fitness Determination (SFD) NPRM  Incorporate on-road safety performance  Not require a compliance review for a rating  NPRM scheduled for 2013 publication Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
